As an American citizen I’m embarrassed to listen to my friends and colleagues overseas tell me how fat and unhealthy U.S. Citizens are.

As a chiropractor, health coach and healthy lifestyle proponent here in the Washington, DC area, I find it highly offensive that people feel that they are the right to eat whatever they want, exercise as little as possible (or not at all) and expect the rest of society to pay for their consistently bad health choices. It doesn’t matter if it’s government-sponsored or private health insurance – our perceptions and values are warped.

We are now 50th in the world in life expectancy.  50th!!!  The USA is NOT Number One!  Ignorance of the principles of nutrition and the principles of nature, not the U.S. Government, is the cause of most of our problems.  The vast majority of people are ignorant of how their bodies work and think of the human form like a car that can just have parts replaced when they wear out.  Unfortunately, when it comes to matters of health and well-being, people are, indeed, uneducated.  They believe that a magic pill will cure their ills and take little to no responsibility for their actions. It is sad.

Isn’t it time America grew up and our citizens were given the health education and life coaching to make life-affirming decisions?  Do we really need our scandal-ridden multinational corporations telling us what to eat while they lobby to poison our food supply, our water and our air?

Unbridled greed and unchecked power can turn our beloved nation into a country of sheep.

Wake up from your collective trance America!  Educate yourselves and free yourself from the hypnosis of conventional “wisdom.”  Learn more about your body, your mind, and the world about you.  Then make better choices for a better tomorrow!

Emotional stress (e.g. disgust) can cause physical symptoms such as stomach pain as well as referred pain to the back. Dis-gustatory story.

Hi, there!

Well, today was my first trial run of practicing on a couple of paitents while only using one arm.  You see, I had left shoulder surgery on September 25th to reattach posterior cartilage that had ripped off the back of that joint.  Ouch!  Well, the good news is that despite having to wear a sling until October 26th, I am semi-funcitonal.  I can drive, feed myself, and even dress myself without any assistance.   Adjusting a patient was the last obstacle to my return to limited work in Rockville and Alexandria.

I just shot and edited two videos yesterday and uploaded them to YouTube on “Nutrition and Surgery.”  They are short but you get the added bonus of getting to see me sporting a very fashionable sling.

Looking forward to seeing my many patients in Maryland and Virginia this week.  However, please be gentle.  I’m not yet fully-recovered.

Yours in ever-increasing health and Energy,

Dr. V.
